Transfer Student
Information For all programs offered by us, a transcript from the former school and a personal interview with an Admissions Advisor are required. An official transcript must be sent directly to Florida Academy of Massage & Skin Care by the previous school, which must be licensed by the Department of Education, or the equivalent licensing authority of that state in which the facility is located. A copy of the school’s catalog should also be submitted so that the program content can be compared as part of a transcript evaluation. Transcripts submitted by a school that awards “credit hours” will need to include conversion factors so that Florida Academy of Massage & Skin Care can equate their “credit hours” with our program hour requirements which are actual “clock hours”. A determination will be made, by Admissions, as to the number of credits which can be transferred as credit toward our program requirements. This determination will be made in view of the course material previously taken, the length of time since the training was received and the experience the prospective student has obtained since graduating. The applicant may be asked to take written examinations, over that course material, to insure competency in cognitive areas of study, or to demonstrate hands-on proficiency. After transfer hours have been established, by Admissions, and a personal interview with an Admissions Advisor has been successfully completed, the applicant will be charged for only the hours they need to complete Florida’s training requirements plus a $150.00 Registration Fee. The same refund policy that applies to program students applies to transfer students. Hours completed at this institution may or may not be accepted by another institution in transfer. Students planning to transfer out of this institution should verify, with the receiving institution, that hours will be accepted.
